    Sounds rough Tilly. I'm still sneezing from this years/last years cold. Think germs are getting tougher ........
    Hang in there and hope you feel better soon.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Morning, I feel better than yesterday. That's the first time in two weeks that I've felt better not worse :)

    No voice still, knackered but definitely an improvement.

    YAY :j:j:j

    Thanks for your lovely messages.

    Boultdj, thanks for dropping by and brilliant news on your first OP :T

    I can confirm she has no voice :eek:, but not well enough for visitors and by the time she is she'll have her voice back so I STILL won't get a word in edgeways :rotfl:.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I can't believe how tired I feel. Ridiculous. I emptied and sorted, out away the contents of the airing cupboard, then had to lie down. :eek:

    I have made a date and hazlenut loaf cake after my 'morning' rest. Then needed to sit down again.

    Maybe this is a way of teaching me patience.

    Ironing pile is 2' high :eek:

    Back to the Drs tomorrow - let's hope my personal parking space is still available. I feel like I've lived there r century.

    Anyway, to prove I am feeling a tad better, I have Tilly Tidied 53p and 21p to MOS :)

    Best wishes, Tilly x

    In good Dixon of Dock Green style, "evening all"

    More medication to take but this stuff has made a difference already. I am definitely over the worst and feeling much better, but tired. That is soooooo frustrating.

    I made a Mary Berry Chicken, poached pear and calvados dish this evening - now I'm a MB fan and DH has been for around 30 years, but I've written in my cookery book the following words 'life is too short to make and eat this again 6/2/15'.

    Food spends have been extremely low the last week or so and there has been much decluttering of jars from the fridge.

    Although I don't have my energetic madness at the moment, knowing I've been happy to plough through some cookery books has been a joy.

    Maple pulled pork in the SC first thing tomorrow :)

    3p Tilly Tidy, OK, it's a dry week - moved to MOS

    Best wishes, Tilly x x
